Newcastle sign 'modern defensive hybrid' Thiaw

Newcastle United have completed the signing of AC Milan defender Malick Thiaw.

The Germany centre-back joins Eddie Howe's side for a reported £34.6m, including add-ons.

He is Newcastle's third signing of what has been a difficult summer of recruitment, following winger Anthony Elanga's arrival from Nottingham Forest and goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale joining on loan from Southampton.

"I'm really excited to join this massive club. I can't wait to get to know my new team-mates," said the 24-year-old.

"The gaffer showed me what he wants to do with me as a player and the club itself, which is really exciting.
